Pobreza multidimensional no estado da Bahia com enfoque no meio rural utilizando a abordagem de Bourguignon e Chakravarty

Abstract

The contemporary debate in academia has built increasingly poverty issues in the investigation of its causes and consequences. However, much of the analysis has given special attention to the one-dimensional phenomenon, is deemed insufficient income of individuals. However, more recently many researchers have addressed the multidimensional poverty perspective, considering other aspects beyond income. Based on this approach, this article aims to investigate the multidimensional poverty of Bahia and in particular its tendency in Bahia’s rural areas during the period between 2006 and 2013. To this end, we used the recent methodology proposed by Bourguignon and Chakravarty (2003), considering the basic needs approach and theory training. Thus, for the calculation of the size deprivation indicators, their Gap if their poverty rates, we used data from the National Survey by Household Sample (PNAD) .The results show a fall of 4.41% of multidimensional poverty in state of Bahia as a whole, while in rural areas, the proportion of poor in its multiple dimensions, fell 5.61%, from 37.18% in 2006 to 31.57% in the year 2013. On the other hand, in the area urban retraction of multidimensional poverty was 4.39% lower than that observed in the field, but enough to still observe the permanence of relative poverty differentials between the two geographic areas.
